I've been thinking about that a lot too lately, These Days. I think it's becasue I grew up in retail, in costumer service. I grew up having to talk to everybody, having to sell to everybody so now that I can just sell me, it's fun. It's not even a sale, it's really just me being me.
I like to be challenged with language, so I start to do texts for my blogs that people can download, can spread. There is no commercial interest behind it.

I am interested in how readers also respond to the texts that I write to them.
